.Sh NAME
.Nm ichpcib
.Nd Intel ICHx/ICHx-M LPC bridges
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "ichpcib* at pci?"
.Cd "isa* at ichpcib?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver supports Intel
.Tn ICH ,
.Tn ICH0 ,
.Tn ICH2 ,
.Tn ICH2-M ,
.Tn ICH3-S ,
.Tn ICH3-M ,
.Tn ICH4 ,
.Tn ICH4-M ,
.Tn ICH5 ,
.Tn ICH6 ,
.Tn ICH7 ,
.Tn ICH7-M ,
.Tn ICH8 ,
.Tn ICH8-M ,
.Tn ICH9 ,
.Tn 6300ESB
and
.Tn 6321ESB
LPC bridges.
These devices are mostly usual
.Tn PCI-ISA
bridges but with some additional power management and monitoring
capabilities.
Besides the core functionality, the
.Nm
driver provides support for the Intel SpeedStep technology, available
for the
.Tn ICH2-M ,
.Tn ICH3-M ,
and
.Tn ICH4-M
chipsets, and power management timer available for all chipsets.
It allows the user to control CPU frequency with the
.Xr sysctl 8
program.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr cpu 4 ,
.Xr intro 4 ,
.Xr isa 4 ,
.Xr pci 4 ,
.Xr sysctl 8
.Sh HISTORY
Intel SpeedStep support for the ICHx-M chipsets first appeared in
.Ox 3.5
as part of the
.Xr pcib 4
driver.
The
.Nm
driver first appeared in
.Ox 3.6 .
.Sh AUTHORS
The
.Nm
driver was written by
.An Alexander Yurchenko Aq grange@openbsd.org .
.Sh CAVEATS
On some old machines with the
.Tn ICH2-M
chipset, Intel SpeedStep isn't available.
